robots ... Dannybot
Blake's 7 ... Blake's Junction 7
Broken Social Scene ... The Love Crimes of Gillian Guess

That last is a surreal, ironic portrait (think To Die For) of the sex-charged, fame-crazed society we know as Canada. BSS wrote the score, and there's also a fantasy sequence set to Josh Rouse's "Love Vibration." The other two are comedic shorts--you can watch one of them online, and a trailer for the other.

Comic Shorts

I take it those were from the comic shorts. Generally worthwhile, or were those the two that were best, or perhaps just the two that were available?

Oh, I've missed my last chance to see it anyway .. Dang.

They weren't the best, they were the one that would appeal to robot fans and the one that would appeal to Blake's 7 fans. The latter was manifestly unfunny to me and most of the audience.

On the other hand I thought most of the comic shorts were good to great. But you missed it.

Well, I love Mark Heap and anything the guy is in regardless of how manifest your lack of humor is.

Cool. I didn't mean that as an insult, by the way, although I know it came out that way. I mean, the short was clearly very funny... but only if you get the joke, which I didn't.

I love Mark Heap too, passionately.

Generally, that's how I can tell something is good -- I missed it.

Glad to know the rule is holding up.
